Food bought from 2 different stalls at same food court have foreign objects in them

STOMPer Ms Yeo was shocked at finding foreign objects in food purchased from 2 different stalls at the same food court within the same day.She elaborates:"I
bought a packet of meehoon and mee with meat and vegetable at 8.30am
today (April 10) from Kopitiam Bencoolen Street for my lunch. I felt
very disgusted after seeing this silver strip in my food. It's from the
JOLLY Wok stall."Then my colleague told me to take a picture for
proof to complain. Feeling hungry as I didn't finish my mee hoon and
mee. I went to the same food court to buy Indian rice at 12.30pm.
Another item was found in my rice. I felt even more disgusted this time.
The item is about 8cm long. Yucks!"The item found in the Jolly
Wok food is about 2cm and silver in colour. The Indian store's item was
plastic when I touched it. It's a black colour strip that's 8cm long. I
wonder if a kid or an adult may choke if they eat too fast."Disappointed with the 2 stores, eating the wrong choice of food."read more

Beleaguered Old Chang Kee
on Tuesday said they apologised twice to the customer who said she
found an unidentified insect in one of the snack chain's signature
sardine puffs.

"We have apologised to the customer on two different occasions for her unpleasant experience," Old Chang Kee said in a post on its Facebook page, adding that the company had just completed independent annual checks for HACCP certification in its food safety management system.

"Food hygiene and customer service remain our overriding priorities,"
the company said. "We will continue to do our utmost best to strengthen
our processes in both areas."

In response to the company's statement, 25-year-old Maggie Jana
said that its public relations executive only apologised after she had
asked her to do so.

We’ve been tipped off by on a recent social media disaster at KFC
Malaysia that was caused by two scandalous videos of several KFC
employees.But many might not have realized that such a big
problem was brewing at KFC Malaysia since the fast food chain’s PR
folks, in my opinion, did a pretty good job in handling the case.The
social media disaster started last October when someone sent a video
clip to KFC Malaysia that shows a staff member tampering with the food
while preparing it. We did a quick search and found these two videos,
which likely show the offending incidents:read more

Lake, N.Y. on Thursday, July 28, 2011.(Lori Van Buren / Times Union)

BALLSTON LAKE -- Ken Wieczerza usually loves a slice of leftover pizza from the refrigerator.But
when he bit into this particular piece of cold Pizza Hut pie, he
recoiled when his teeth encountered an unexpected ingredient: a blue
bandage with what appeared to be remnants of dried blood."It felt
kind of like biting into a folded-up piece of plastic," he recalled. "I
can't think of anything more disgusting than chewing on a bandage,
other than a body part. Fortunately, I didn't swallow it."The
bandage was baked into the bottom crust with a slight indentation, he
said. The approximately 1-by-3-inch adhesive strip in a bright blue hue
was dotted with what looked like blood droplets.The revolting
find came on June 9, the day after he purchased the large supreme pizza
with pepperoni, ham, green peppers and other toppings as takeout from a
Clifton Park location.Since then, the bandage and half-eaten slice has
been sealed in a plastic zip-close bag and stored in his freezer as
evidence while Wieczerza has engaged in a rising contretemps with Pizza
Hut officials.read moreFancy cockroaches with your curry? Bugs found scuttling along floor of Indian takeaway

McDonald’s Worker Spits in Tea: How Gross is Fast Food?

Police in South Carolina say that a McDonald's worker spit in two customers' cups
of iced tea after they returned them because they weren't sweet enough.
A video shows the employee,19-year-old Marvin Washington Jr., leaning
over the open cups before giving them back.The fast food chain patrons
claim they discovered phlegm in the drinks when they removed their tops.
He was arrested Wednesday and charged with malicious tampering with
food.Eating out can be an exercise in suspended disbelief. Wide eyed, we
assume the food is fresh and wholesome and that workers have followed
the "employees must wash hands" decree posted in the bathroom.Nevertheless, the McDonald's incident is so sickening because it
actually bears out the urban legend that a disdainful waiter can and
will contaminate your food if you tick him off.read more'Raw and uncooked' describes this chicken burger served at popular fast food chain
